New York Liberty Ring of Honor

The New York Liberty Ring of Honor recognizes retired players who have made the most significant contributions to the Liberty’s tradition of excellence and to the growth of the WNBA.

The Ring of Honor is currently comprised of six pioneering women who have played pivotal roles with the Liberty and generated some of the most memorable moments and seasons in the franchise’s history: Becky Hammon, Kym Hampton, Vickie Johnson, Rebecca Lobo, Teresa Weatherspoon, and Sue Wicks.

To celebrate the New York Liberty’s 15th WNBA season, the Ring of Honor made its debut in 2011, when the first five members were officially inducted. A committee selected Hampton, Johnson, Weatherspoon, and Wicks, while Lobo joined the inaugural class thanks to a fan vote.

Hammon became the sixth member of the Ring of Honor when she was formally inducted during the 2015 season.

She quickly developed into a fan favorite and was voted by the fans as a starter in the 2000 WNBA all-star game.

In 2001, she received the WNBA’s top award for sportsmanship, the Kim Perrot Sportsmanship Award.

She finished her WNBA career ranked eighth all-time in blocked shots.

Inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in 2013.
